LOS ANGELES - Today, Angel City Football Club (ACFC) confirmed that the team obtained goalkeeper Brittany Wilson through a trade with the Orlando Pride. In addition, ACFC will receive the Pride's natural third-round pick in the 2023 NWSL Draft. In exchange, the Orlando Pride has acquired Angel City FC's natural fourth-round pick in the 2023 NWSL Draft.

"I'm excited to get on the field with Brittany. She is well-regarded as a young goalkeeper with an incredibly high ceiling, and importantly, prior NWSL experience," said Goalkeeper Coach Daniel Ball. "She had a stellar career at the University of Denver and has been well-coached at college, youth national team, and the pro level. Our environment will be one in which I have no doubt she will continue developing and adding great competition."

Wilson signed with the Pride through the 2021 season and made her debut during the Fall Series, playing the full 90 minutes. She made a total of five saves, including one that earned NWSL Save of the Week honors. Before Orlando, Wilson made eight appearances with the Colorado Rapids, a WPSL team, in the 2019 season. Wilson was called up to the U19 and U20 U.S. National Team rosters.

Wilson graduated from the University of Denver, where she played in 80 games with 25 shutouts, the fourth most in program history. She won Summit League Tournament titles in 2017 and 2018 and was named the Summit League Goalkeeper of the Year after her freshman season in 2016.

Today's news follows Angel City's roster-building milestones of the 2022 NWSL Expansion Draft and precedes tomorrow's 2022 NWSL Draft presented by Ally.
